حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيُّ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ حَدِيثَ أَبِي حَرِيزٍ أَنَّ أَبَا بُرْدَةَ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ أَوْصَى أَبُو مُوسَى حِينَ حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ فَقَالَ إِذَا انْطَلَقْتُمْ بِجِنَازَتِي فَأَسْرِعُوا الْمَشْيَ وَلَا يَتَّبِعُنِي مُجَمَّرٌ وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا فِي لَحْدِي شَيْئًا يَحُولُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ التُّرَابِ وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا عَلَى قَبْرِي بِنَاءً وَأُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنَّنِي بَرِيءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ حَالِقَةٍ أَوْ سَالِقَةٍ أَوْ خَارِقَةٍ قَالُوا أَوَسَمِعْتَ فِيهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ نَعَمْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
It is narrated from Abu Burdah that when the time of death approached for Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), he made a will, saying: When you carry my funeral, walk a little quickly, and let no man walk with the funeral burning incense on coals, and do not place anything in my grave that would come between me and the earth, and do not build any structure over my grave. And I make you witnesses that I am free and dissociated from every woman who shaves her head, wails, or tears her clothes upon someone's death. The people asked: Did you hear anything about this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: Yes.
